The Burnie Optimisation Project was
a tripartite agreement between the
Tasmanian Ports Corporation Pty Ltd
(TasPorts), Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd (TasRail)
and Toll Transport Pty Ltd (Toll).
The joint project was the frst agreement of
its kind between the three key stakeholders,
and is a positive step for Tasmania in relation
to statewide collaboration and integration of
freight transport systems.
The $12-million project continues to ensure
that Burnie is the key port in Tasmania for
containerised shipping.
The project has increased the capacity and
effciency of container handling through the
port. This has been done by enhancing the
existing rail intermodal terminal, its links with the
Toll terminal and adjusting the port layout and
access way.
For TasPorts, the benefts include a strategic
upgrade of port container capability, as
well as improved port security and traffc
management measures.
Both TasRail and Toll have benefted from
improved statewide freight capacity due to the
delivery of a rail head in northern Tasmania to
complement the container-handling capability
of the Brighton intermodal facility in the south.
All works took place in parallel with the
operation of port and rail facilities, the port
continued to function in a safe and effcient
manner, once again delivering the highest
throughput of a Tasmanian port during the
construction phase of the project.
This project has enabled an overall increase
of 30 per cent in container capacity,
providing growth and confdence for industry
and the community.

Rail activity was brought within the
operational area of the port. Trains no
longer need to shunt along the waterfront.
This has improved public safety and the
overall aesthetic of the area.
Increased capacity of
the existing container
storage areas achieved
by relocating the current
rail unloading area.
Expansion of the existing
rail yard through re-
alignment of the existing
port access road.
The Burnie Port Optimisation was a Major Infrastructure project jointly funded by
the Commonwealth and Tasmanian Governments, TasPorts, TasRail and Toll.
